Here's where you can see Sting and his band next year.

Sting has announced a full slate of outdoor UK shows for 2025, including several massive festival sets.

The dates are billed as Sting 3.0, with the main man playing as part of a power trio, being backed by Dominic Miller on guitar and Chris Maas on drums.

• Sting reveals why he's cancelled 'Don't Stand So Close To Me' and will no longer perform it
• Billy Joel and Sting duet on 'Every Little Thing She Does is Magic' and 'Big Man on Mulberry Street'
• Listen to the Gold Greats Live Playlist on Global Player, the home of Gold

"The band will perform the most electrifying hits and rarities from Sting’s timeless discography," organisers said.

Sting is the first headliner announced for next year's Latitude Festival.

"We're thrilled to announce Sting as our first headliner for Latitude 2025," said Latitude Founder and Festival Director Melvin Benn.
